Here are a few more detailed pictures of the Mexican horse saddle project for the old Harley.
The nails are not made industrially and there are many of them installed. The screws are simple wood screws with a lens-flat head. The table is made of artificial teddy fur.
And the many of the screws go far into the saddle; that was certainly not a pleasure for the horse. The wood is red and very hard. The white decorative seam is plastic. The metal applications are probably tinned or silver-plated brass.
Is anyone familiar with this type of saddle and can give me some background information about it?

Hier noch ein paar Detailbilder von dem mexikanischen Pferdesattel-Projekt für die alte Harley.
Die Nägel sind nicht industriell gefertigt und es sind viele davon verbaut. Die Schrauben sind schlichte Holzschrauben mit einem Linsen-Flachkopf. Die Schabracke ist aus Kunst-Teddypelz.
Und die viele der Schrauben gehen bis weit in die Schabracke; das war sicher kein Vergnügen für das Pferd. Das Holz ist rot und sehr hart. Die weiße Ziernaht ist Kunststoff. Die Metall-Applikationen sind wahrscheinlich verzinntes oder versilbertes Messing. Kennt sich jemand mit dieser Art Sätteln aus und kann mir etwas Hintergrundwissen dazu geben?

Today in Labor History May 30, 1899: Pearl Hart committed one of the last stage coach robberies in America, and one of the only committed by a woman. At a young age, she married a man who turned out to be abusive. After watching Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, she decided that the cowboy lifestyle was the life for her. So, she abandoned her husband and caught a train to Trinidad, Colorado (near the site of the future Ludlow Massacre). "I was only twenty-two years old. I was good-looking, desperate, discouraged, and ready for anything that might come." During this time, she may have worked as a prostitute and developed a morphine habit. However, she wasn’t earning much money and decided to rob a stagecoach, along with a companion, Joe Boot. She cut her hair short and dressed as a man. They robbed the stagecoach without incident. But the authorities caught up them and arrested them less than a week later. Hart escaped, but was recaptured after two weeks. During her trial, she pleaded that she needed the money for her sick mother. The jury acquitted her, which really pissed off the judge.
